Last night I watched a one-hour special on TCM celebrating the 20th anniversary of the movie channel in general and the great Robert Osborne in particular. Hosted by Alex Trebek, the show featured a coterie of A-list actors and celebrity well-wishers and a musical performance by Michael Feinstein. Yeah, it was classy, and all I could think was, Damn, what I would give to be any one of those people.

Luckily for us we got to see it all on TV. And it strikes me as the kind of thing TCM will show about once a week for the next decade. Apparently the show’s actually a year old, having taken place and been filmed in 2014, but no worries, it’s a timeless piece of Americana. Robert Osborne, of course, is a national treasure. It’s proof that even in an era in which pretty much any movie is available to you at any time, you still want to watch it on TCM because Robert Osborne is going to talk about it for 90 seconds.

And if I’m never a famous actor or television host, just let me be the guy who watches movies on TCM 24 hours a day when he’s old. That’s retiring in style.
